In the old days, we could transmit with HW crypto with an arbitrary
key by filling it into TX_CMD. This was broken first with the advent
of CCMP/GCMP-256 keys which don't fit there.
This was broken *again* with the newer TX_CMD format on 22560+,
where we simply cannot pass key material anymore. However, we forgot
to update all the cases when we get a key from mac80211 and don't
program it into the hardware but still return 0 for HW crypto on TX.
In AP mode with WEP, we tried to fix this by programming the keys
separately for each station later, but this ultimately turns out to
be buggy, for example now it leaks memory when we have more than one
WEP key.
Fix this by simply using only SW crypto for WEP in newer devices by
returning -EOPNOTSUPP instead of trying to program WEP keys later.

Recently we started to send the WEP keys to the firmware so
that we could use hardware Tx encryption also on newer
devices that require the keys to be installed in the firmware
for encryption (as opposed to older devices that can get
the key in the Tx command for each Tx).
When we implemented that, we forgot to remove the key when
we remove a station leading to a situation where a station
that connects and disconnects a lot of times exhausts the
key database inside the firmware.
A fix was made for that, but we always removed the same
key: mvmvif->ap_wep_key which means that we removed the
same key entry in the firmware. This can make sense since
in WEP, the key is the same for all the stations, but the
internal implementation of iwl_mvm_set_sta_key and
iwl_mvm_remove_sta_key assumes that each station uses a
different key in the firmware's key database.
So now we got to the situation where we have a single
ieee80211_key_conf instance that means, a single
ieee80211_key_conf.hw_key_idx index for several stations
and hence for several keys.
ieee80211_key_conf.hw_key_idx is set to 0 when the first
station associates, and then it is overwritten to 1 when
the second station associates which is a buggy of course.
This led to the following message upon the removal of the
second station:
iwlwifi 0000:00:03.0: offset 1 not used in fw key table.
WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 27883 at net/mac80211/sta_info.c:1122 __sta_info_destroy_part2+0x16b/0x180 [mac80211]

Fix this by copying the ieee80211_key_conf structure for
each and every station. This is the easiest way to properly
remove the keys with the right index. Another solution
would have been to allow several stations to use the same
key offset in the firmware. That would require to change
the way we track keys in iwlmvm and not really worth it.
Also, maintain correctly fw_key_table when we add a key
for the multicast station.
Remove the key when we remove the multicast station.

Move to use the new mac80211 TXQs implementation. This has
quite a few benefits for us. We can get rid of the awkward
mapping of DQA to mac80211 queues. We can stop buffering
traffic while waiting for the queue to be allocated. We can
also use mac80211 AMSDUs instead of building it ourselves.
The usage is pretty simple:
Each ieee80211_txq contains iwl_mvm_txq. There is such a
queue for each TID, and one for management frames. We keep
having static AP queues for probes and non-bufferable MMPDUs,
along with broadcast and multicast queues. Those are being
used from the "old" TX invocation path - iwl_mvm_mac_tx.
When there is a new frame in a TXQ, iwl_mvm_mac_wake_tx is
being called, and either invokes the TX path, or allocates
the queue if it does not exist.
Most of the TX path is left untouched, although we can consider
cleaning it up some more, for example get rid of the duplication
of txq_id in both iwl_mvm_txq and iwl_mvm_dqa_txq_info.

one of the antennas is blocked. Note that the antenna is toggled even

We don't really need this state: instead of having an inactive
state where we can awaken zombie queues again if needed, just
keep them in their normal state unless a new queue is actually
needed and there's no other way of getting one.
We do this here by making the inactivity check not free queues
unless instructed that we now really need to allocate one to a
specific station, and in that case it'll just free the queue
immediately, without doing any inactivity step inbetween.
The only downside is a little bit more processing in this case,
but the code complexity is lower.
Additionally, this fixes a corner case: due to the way the code
worked, we could only ever reuse an inactive queue if it was
the reserved queue for a station, as iwl_mvm_find_free_queue()
would never consider returning an inactive queue.

New devices will have rate scaling algorithm running in the firmware.
With this feature, the driver's responsiblity is to provide an initial
configuration and to handle notifications regarding recent rates and
some other parameters. Debugfs hooks will be still available for
reading the current rate/statistics and setting a fixed rate.
The old API is supported so far, though both APIs cannot be used
simultaneously.
This is the first patch in the series. It adds a new TLV specifying
FW support for the new API and updates lq_sta to support two types
of rate scaling.

Add a new state to enum iwl_mvm_agg_state, which is used between
queueing the work that starts tx aggregations and actually starting that
work (changing to state IWL_AGG_STARTING).
This solves a race where ieee80211_start_tx_ba_session is called a
second time, before the work queued by the first run has a chance to
change the agg_state. In this case the second call to
ieee80211_start_tx_ba_session returns an error, and the fallback is to
abort the ba session start.

* Bumped the maximum supported FW API to 31;
* Improve the differentiation between 8000, 9000 and A000 families;
* A lot of fixes and cleanups here and there;
kvalo: There were conflicts iwl_mvm_stop_device() and
iwl_mvm_tcool_set_cur_state(). The former was easy but latter needed more
thought. Apparently the mutex was taken too late, so I fixed so that the mutex
is taken first and then check for iwl_mvm_firmware_running().

Up until now, the driver was comparing the rate reported by the FW and
the rate of the latest LQ command to avoid processing data belonging
to the old LQ command. Recently, FW changed the meaning of the initial
rate field in tx response and it holds the actual rate (which is not
necessarily the initial rate of LQ's rate table). Use instead LQ cmd
color to be able to filter out tx responses/BA notifications which
where sent during earlier LQ commands' time frame.
This fixes some throughput degradation in noisy environments.

Support change to ADD_STA API to support station types.
Each station is assigned its type.
This simplifies FW handling of the broadcast and multicast
stations:
* broadcast station is identified by its type and not the mac
address.
* multicast queue is no longer treated differently. The opening
and closing of it is done by referring to its station.
There is no need to specify it in the MAC command.
* When disabling TX to all station driver can disable the traffic
on multicast station, so FW doesn't have to do it.
Change is backward compatible.
Change the order of adding and removing the stations according to
FW requirements.

Currently multicast queue is associated with the broadcast
station.
This raises quite a few issues:
The multicast queue has a special treatment:
- It is sent in the MAC context command
- It is excluded from tfd_queue_mask
In DQA mode we end up enabling two queues - the probe response
queue and the multicast queue - with the same station (broadcast)
and TID while in DQA mode it should be unique RA-TID.
Firmware will enforce it for a000 devices, so this allocation
will fail.
In addition, in a000 devices the FW will set the FIFO and not
the driver. So there is a need for FW to know when we enable
the queue that it is multicast queue so it will be bound to
the multicast FIFO. There is no such way in current design.
In order to simplify driver and firmware handling of this queue
create a multicast station.
This solves the unique RA-TID issue in the short term and serves
as preparation for the long term.
In the long term we will also add a flag marking this station for
the FW as the multicast station.
Once we will do that the FW will know this is the multicast queue
immediately when it is added and bind it to the correct FIFO.
It will also enable removing the special treatment of the
queue in the MAC context command.

When a station is asleep, the fw will set it as "asleep".
All queues that are used only by one station will be stopped by
the fw.
In pre-DQA mode this was relevant for aggregation queues. However,
in DQA mode a queue is owned by one station only, so all queues
will be stopped.
As a result, we don't expect to get filtered frames back to
mac80211 and don't have to maintain the entire pending_frames
state logic, the same way as we do in aggregations.
The correct behavior is to align DQA behavior with the aggregation
queue behaviour pre-DQA:
- Don't count pending frames.
- Let mac80211 know we have frames in these queues so that it can
properly handle trigger frames.
When a trigger frame is received, mac80211 tells the driver to send
frames from the queues using release_buffered_frames.
The driver will tell the fw to let frames out even if the station
is asleep. This is done by iwl_mvm_sta_modify_sleep_tx_count.

The firmware will soon actually look at the AID field, and
when it does that it'll try to ensure that the AID is never
changing. Due to the way the station is added, it may start
with an invalid AID before it's associated, so to ensure a
constant AID (once it becomes non-zero), track the station
state and set the AID only when the station is associated
and when it disassociates.

When using RSS on 9000 series devices, we can't rely on processing the
received frames for station powersave handling, since they could be
processed on different CPUs and out of order.
In order to still manage the powersave of stations, the firmware sends
a notification on sleep->wake, wake->sleep and - for U-APSD - frames
received with PM while already sleeping (with the TID.)
With this, the driver can set AP_LINK_PS, which is required for real
parallel RX. In addition, this requires checking for PS-Poll frames
and calling ieee80211_sta_pspoll() appropriately.

Next hardware will direct packets to core based on the TCP/UDP
streams.
This logic can create holes in reorder buffer since packets that
belong to other stream were directed to a different core.
However, those are valid holes and the packets can be indicated
in L3 order.
The hardware will utilize a mechanism of informing the driver of
the normalized ssn and the driver shall release all packets that
SN is lower than the nssn.
This enables managing the reorder across the queues without sharing
any data between them.
The reorder buffer is allocated and released directly in the RX path
in order to avoid various races between control path and rx path.
The code utilizes the internal messaging to notify rx queues of when
to delete the reorder buffer.

is a timeout set for the session in the ADDBA request.
If there is not activity on the TA/TID then the session

"DQA" is shorthand for "dynamic queue allocation". This
enables on-demand allocation of queues per RA/TID rather than
statically allocating per vif, thus allowing a potential
benefit of various factors.
Please refer to the DOC section this patch adds to sta.h to
see a more in-depth explanation of this feature.
There are many things to take into consideration when working
in DQA mode, and this patch is only one in a series. Note that
default operation mode is non-DQA mode, unless the FW
indicates that it supports DQA mode.
This patch enables support of DQA for a station connected to
an AP, and works in a non-aggregated mode.
When a frame for an unused RA/TID arrives at the driver, it
isn't TXed immediately, but deferred first until a suitable
queue is first allocated for it, and then TXed by a worker
that both allocates the queues and TXes deferred traffic.
When a STA is removed, its queues goes back into the queue
pools for reuse as needed.

As we're working on multi-queue RX, we want to parallelise checking
the PN in order to avoid having to serialise the RX processing.
It may seem that doing parallel PN checking is insecure, but it turns
out to be OK because queue assignment is done based on the data in the
frame (IP/TCP) and thus cannot be manipulated by an attacker, since
the data is encrypted and must first have been decrypted successfully.
There are some corner cases, in particular when the peer starts using
fragmentation which redirects the packet to the default queue. However
this redirection is remembered (for the STA, per TID) and thus cannot
be exploited by an attacker either.
Leave checking on the default queue (queue 0) to mac80211, since we
get fragmented packets there and those are subject to stricter checks
during reassembly.
